Scope and Contents
The records of the New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) Pre-College Programs date from 1984 to 2000. The records include files from the various NJMS Pre-College Programs for minority students in the Northern New Jersey area. From 1981-1995, the program provided by the NJMS was named Minority High School Student Biomedical Research Apprentices. Erich Hirschberg, PhD who directed grants and fundraisers for the program, administrated the program from 1981-1988. In 1988, Dr. Ophelia Gona took control and continued the Minority High School Student Biomedical Research Apprentices until the NIH-funded grant ended in 1995. In 1994, Dr. Gona continued the pre-college program for minority student apprentices by running it under a program named Explorations, and later, in 1996, it was run under the name SMART, which stands for "Science, Math, and Related Topics".
